Finding API returning 0 results?

marlon-wiprud commented 4 years ago

Just getting started with this library and for some reason my call to findItemsAdvanced will return 0 items regardless of keywords searched.

I am sure I am overlooking something - here is the code

from ebaysdk.exception import ConnectionError
from ebaysdk.finding import Connection

try:
    api = Connection(config_file='ebay.yaml', siteid="EBAY-US", https=True,
                     domain='svcs.sandbox.ebay.com')

    params = {
        'keywords': 'books',
        'paginationInput': {
            'entriesPerPage': 100
        }
    }
    response = api.execute('findItemsAdvanced', params)

    print(response.json())

except ConnectionError as e:
    print(e)
    print(e.response.dict())

and the response:

{"ack": "Success", "version": "1.13.0", "timestamp": "2019-11-17T04:36:47.814Z", "searchResult": {"_count": "0"}, "paginationOutput": {"pageNumber": "0", "entriesPerPage": "100", "totalPages": "0", "totalEntries": "0"}, "itemSearchURL": "https://shop.sandbox.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=books&_ddo=1&_ipg=100&_pgn=1"}

any pointers greatly appreciated.

I've the same code as @marlon-wiprud and i'm facing the issue. What is wrong?

 for item in response.reply.searchResult.item:
                print(f"Title: {item.title}, Price: {item.sellingStatus.currentPrice.value}")

'ResponseDataObject' object has no attribute 'item'

Request seems to work but the response data object is empty.

It appears the sandbox environment doesn't contain any listings. You might consider switching to prod or filing it as an issue on the development site.

This one is working for me now. We probably need to close this issue.
